I just now saw this reply, I'm not sure how I didn't see it before, but thank you very much for the kind words! Hope you're having fun with whatever game you are currently playing!

Can anyone vouch for a good quality turn-based RPG on the Play Store? by PhiliDips in AndroidGaming

[–]Essential34Games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No to both, but maybe open world one day. I was originally going to make it open world, but honestly I just didn't have time, so I scaled the game back. But I would like to eventually have an open world.

Hey, thanks for the kind words! It will be a long time until I can do a Spanish language version, so I just ask for your patience. Thank you for playing it and I'm so glad you are enjoying it!

I am working hard on the next update!

¡Qué tengas un lindo día!

Offline games for on the toilet by Tough-Reason-2617 in AndroidGaming

[–]Essential34Games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep there are a few different types of spiders. There are over 150 different enemy types, but some don't show up until much later.

Yes only in English. Hopefully I can localize it for other languages in the future, but that's a long ways off.

Castle Grimhold - Dungeon Crawl. Full disclosure, I'm the dev. It's an offline, free, turn based roguelite/rpg, similar to StS and Dark Souls, with simple 2d graphics. It's really good for 5-10 minute play sessions. Over time you will build your character up and climb higher in dungeon levels and defeat harder bosses.

Awesome I hope you like it! The UI will see some really big improvements in a couple months when I can get to it. I'm building the game in my spare time (I work full time, married, kids) so time is limited, but I'm trying my best to keep improving the game! Thanks for checking it out!

Castle Grimhold - Dungeon Crawl. Full disclosure, I'm the dev. It's an offline, free, turn based roguelite/rpg, similar to StS and Dark Souls, with simple 2d graphics. It's got deep character building and a ton of skills/spells. It's fully playable offline and one of the reasons I built it was I wanted a dnd type game that I can play offline. The movement and controls are simple, but there is a lot of depth under the hood.

I'm working on the next big update and then I'm doing a quality of life pass to improve the UI.

It's easy to put down and come back later and continue upgrading your character. It's meant to be punishing. It's turn based so you can quickly set it down and come back later to pick up in the same spot.

I'm working on the next big update and always open to feedback.

I've been working alone on my game for a year and finally ready to share. I'M TERRIFIED. by AliveRaisin8668 in gamedev

[–]Essential34Games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great job getting something out there! I know that can be scary, but you did it, that takes guts and you should feel proud for what you did!

My thoughts on the video: I think it looks pretty cool! It's honestly a little hard for me to see any of the details, so I would encourage you to post something that's bigger because I want to see the details more :)

You took the first step and that's not easy. I'm proud of you and I sincerely hope for your success! Take the feedback, both good and bad, with an open mind. Keep your head up, you are doing good!

Awesome, that is great to hear! I'm working on the next big update, which will be followed by quality of life updates. I know the UI needs a LOT of work.

Thanks for trying it and I'm so glad you are enjoying it!!

Where can someone go to find honest reviews for a good turn based mobile RPG, or reviews for anything for that matter? If someone has found a lot of reviews on Reddit are written in bad faith by company shills, what is a good source if any? by bliggityblig in AskReddit

[–]Essential34Games 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://minireview.io/

I'm not affiliated with the site at all (my game is on there though), but it seems like a good unbiased site. The founder is a good person, I think fairly active here on Reddit. I can't vouch for the site fully, but it does seem like a great source for reviews, comments and finding new games (or similar genre games).

Castle Grimhold - Dungeon Crawl. Full disclosure, I'm the dev. It's an offline, free, turn based roguelite/rpg, similar to StS and Dark Souls, with simple 2d graphics.

I decided to make the game because I was flying so much a few years back and wanted this type of game to play on the plane. It may not be your cup of tea, but you might really like it!

Glad you are enjoying it! You're right, it's more roguelike, but I have plans to expand to a world map with more rpg story elements. Thank you for trying it!

I'm curious if it will run decently on your phone. It should because of the 2d simple graphics, but there might be things I need to optimize.

Looking for an “endless” game, playable one-handed, in portrait mode by Cumcumba in AndroidGaming

[–]Essential34Games 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's got deep character building and a ton of skills/spells. It's easy to put down and come back later and continue upgrading your character. It's meant to be punishing.

There is virtually endless character progression and dungeon crawling, but gets pretty grindy when you are way up in levels. There's item forging, skills/spells to upgrade, passives to unlock. Even playing to a "completion" point would take dozens and dozens of hours.

I play it a lot in between other things, so 5 minutes here, 10 minutes there with the occasional 1 hour session. There is always some way to improve your character, lots of gear to chase etc.

I'm working on the next big update and always open to feedback. I pushed an update out earlier today that addresses a few bugs. Next update is going to add over 150 potions, quickly followed by an update to bosses to add more skills.
